Step 1: To logon to the Remote Access website use one of the following options: Click on the following link https://sslvpn.nchri.org, or Open a browser window (Internet Explorer or Firefox) type or copy and paste the above link into the address bar, and hit Enter. **Important Note: Please allow and enable all pop-ups for this site. Step 2: Enter your assigned username and password, which you received in a secure email.

Example: 3552730# Step 5: The system will then state that your PIN has expired, and you need to enter a new one. Enter a 4-8 digit numeric PIN and then press #. Note: The system will not allow the PIN number to have the same repeated digits (i.e., 11111, 22222, etc.). The system will repeat the PIN you entered, and ask you to press 1 to confirm the PIN.
